In reply to Where does Nardil take place in the brain?, posted by medweirdo on October 7, 2007, at 6:58:22
Nardil doesn't so much "take place" at any given site in the brain, it inhibits the production of Monoamine Oxydase, the chemical which breaks down the catecholamine neurotransmitters, so that they all stick around longer.
This effect takes place throughout the body, so it is as true for the digestive tract as it is for the brain -- the serotonin in your gut is hanging around, just as the serotonin in your brain.
Hope that helps.
